I left off anyone doing horror and went with the most devious, sinister, demented characters that I have ever seen on screen.
MY PICKS:
Christopher Walken, --AT Close Range. I think he played a definate oscar worthy role. He played a white trash thief who was so evil and deviant that he killed his two sons as well as many more. Also loved that it was based off a true story.
Joe Pesci,--Casino. He might be little, but you wouldn't have known it in this film. He was tremendously violent, evil and vile and did it all with a passion.
Denzel Washington,--Training Day, Does a cop get more villinous than this. There is only one cop I can remember being more sinister. That would be my next pick.
Harvey Keitel,--Bad Lieutenant, He makes bad guys look like choir boys. He is a drug fiene, maniac, perverted deviant, gambler who curses god whenever he can....
Daniel Day Lewis, --There will be Blood, I truly think his best performance. It is almost like he transformed himself for this role. He was very greedy, intelligent, godless, soulless, evil.
Nicole Kidman,--To Die for, The essessential narcissistic behavior. Didn't care about anyone. Very selfish, manipulative, self indulgent lunatic...
Robert Deniro,--Cape Fear, He was a sociopath in every way. He was resentful, intelligent, sneaky, hateful, spiteful and just plain evil
So that's my list. I can't think of anyone else at thist time..
Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York
Alan Rickman in Die Hard
Dustin Hoffman in Confidence
Al Pacino in Scarface and The Godfather
Joe Pesci in Casino and Goodfellas
Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight
That's a great one!! There is that monologue in the beginning of the movie, where he has Jack on the phone after he blew up the bus, that is just awesome.
Johnny from Karate Kid
The guy who wanted the Playboy back from Adventures in Babysitting
Norman Bates
Jack and Heath's Joker portrayals.
Clubber Lang from Rocky III, I remember watching that when I was a kid and I really, really wanted Rocky to kick Clubber's ass at the end of the movie and he did! He did not pity the fool!
There's lots of good ones but one of my favorites is Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber in Die Hard.
Richman for any one of three films; Die Hard, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, or Quigley Down Under.
